Product Description

Wimberley's P-5 Universal Camera Body Plate has a thin layer of dense, textured rubber on its top surface which grips the bottom of your camera, yet maintains the same solid feel that you get with a metal-to-camera connection.

Beneath the rubber, the top surface of the plate has a wide, shallow cut-out running across the middle of the plate. This cut-out ensures that the frictional force is concentrated on the outer portions of the plate providing the maximum mechanical advantage to resist twisting. The result is a plate that is very solidly attached to your camera body, and will not twist.

As a universal plate there is no need to buy a new plate when you buy a new camera. It can be used on your camera with or without the vertical grip attached. The P-5 works with camera bodies, point-and-shoot cameras, medium format cameras, and even collared lenses. It also features the same unique dual safety stops found on Wimberley lens plates.

Due to manufacturer’s policy, Wimberley® brand products are not eligible for promotional discounts or coupon codes.

Specifications

Universal DesignFits virtually any SLR, as well as many point-and-shoot cameras; no need to buy a new plate each time you upgrade your gear. Easily move from camera to camera or share plates between multiple cameras.

How It Works
The P-5 features a thin layer of dense, textured rubber on its top surface. This coating grips the bottom of your camera, but is so dense and thin that it maintains the solid feel of a metal-to-camera connection. Beneath the rubber, the top surface of the plate is machined to ensure that the frictional force is concentrated on the outer portions of the plate. This provides the maximum mechanical advantage to resist twisting.

Lightweight at 1.4oz (40.8g)
A hollowed-out underside and lack of flanges or extensions on top minimizes bulk and weight.

Dual Safety Stops
The P-5 features the same unique dual safety stops found on our lens plates.

Ergonomics
The P-5's thin profile and generously rounded corners make it easy on the hands; it blends beautifully with the contours of your camera.

Threaded Hole for Non-Quick Release Applications
For further versatility, the P-5 offers a third hole that is threaded and can be used to attach your camera to a ¼″ stud on a tripod head platform without the need for a quick-release clamp.
